Wow, wow, wow! Where to begin? If your wedding is important to you, and being able to capture it and look back on it in years to come is important, then there really is only one choice and one company that will do it justice. Studio Westlake are in a league of their own. The absolute best of the best. Their approach is amazing, from the first contact to the final delivery. They are open, friendly, engaging and most importantly listen and put you at ease on the day. They'd be cheap at twice the price. Our pictures, the video, the composition. It all fits so beautifully. Usually no one outside of the bride and groom wants to see their wedding pics or videos, but since getting ours and sharing them with guests and on social media, we've received messages non stop about how amazing the video is and how great the pictures are. And that's all down to Studio Westlake. Thank you so much to Charlie, Tim and the rest of the team. We wish we could do it with you all over again - maybe for the vow renewals in 10 years time ;-)

We couldn't be more grateful to Charlie and the Studio Westlake team for capturing our wedding day so perfectly.
The photographs truly exceeded our expectations - they really capture the love, fun and joy that we all felt on the day itself.
Studio Westlake was one of the first vendors we booked for our wedding, and I'm so glad that we did.
Charlie worked tirelessly on our wedding day to ensure we were in the right place, at the right time and - crucially - in the right light!
We took his advice and had a fun, second set of glamorous evening photos once we'd changed into party outfits and the shots turned out brilliantly.
Thank you all so much!

We absolutely loved working with Studio Westlake for our wedding. Beth & Tim were so easy to work with throughout the process and made us feel comfortable from the outset. They took the time to really sit down and work our day out with us and were very accommodating to any extra requests we had.
We loved their candid style on the day and that this allowed us to be very present with our family & friends as much as possible.
We were genuinely blown away with the quality of our photos & video once we received them back. They are so natural & timeless, and they really captured how much fun our big day was for us. Every time we look at them, we are reminded how special the day was, and we have Studio Westlake to thank for that.

Studio Westlake photographed our Cotswolds wedding, and were absolutely fantastic form start to finish. On the run up to our wedding, Charlie and Tim were extremely supportive, answered all our questions and queries, and made us feel like we were in very safe hands. On the day, they were an absolute pleasure to have photographing wedding. Their kindness and professionalism is unmatched.

We absolutely love the pictures and video they created. Our day was captured so perfectly. I can feel and see the magic and love of our wedding day in every single picture.

Choosing Studio Westlake was the best investment we could have made into our wedding. I am so grateful I will always have such beautiful pictures to look back on. Thank you Studio Westlake for being the best wedding photographers ever!

We booked Studio Westlake for our recent wedding at Somerley House.

Charlie was absolutely phenomenal - from start to finish, he was a pleasure to deal with and we were thrilled with the results. He was wonderful and supportive throughout the various steps of the entire process - the pre-wedding calls were friendly, thorough and incredibly reassuring.

On the day, Charlie and Joe were both fantastic. They were focussed and efficient but unfailingly warm and courteous - many of our guests commented on their professionalism. The resulting photographs were nothing short of magnificent and we're completely delighted with them.

The post-wedding service was flawless... some lovely initial selects were shared with us swiftly, before the team were incredibly attentive to our feedback on delivery of the full album.

We are so grateful for the invaluable contribution Charlie and Joe made towards our big day - thank you both - and we simply can't recommend Studio Westlake enough.

We booked Charlie to help us recreate our wedding photos 2 months after actually getting married.

We had a call to discuss what I was looking to try to achieve from having a second shoot and he was able to give us ideas on outfits, he had created and saved a Pinterest to share show me what he had understood about the brief.

On the day, he was amazing. He was running around to find the best light, backdrop, and as much as everyone wants "candid" sometimes what you actually need is a bit of direction to create something epic. By the end of the shoot my Husband and I were so relaxed, running in the water, spinning around and just having an absolute blast!

We went with the aim to get that one special photo which you can look at with a full heart and ended up loving every single last one!

Thank you so much!

Studio Westlake were a delight to work with from the moment we made our first enquiry to the very speedy delivery of our beautiful images.

We first engaged with our photographer, Charlie, a year before our wedding date and he was incredibly responsive and informative throughout the whole process.

On the day itself, Charlie made us feel so incredibly comfortable. I am not a natural in front of the camera, but he put us at ease from the moment he arrived and quickly became an integral part of the day. We had so much fun working with Charlie and all of our guests commented on what a nice guy he is. A supreme professional, he put everyone at ease and was so good and patient with our flower girls!

We couldn’t believe how quickly SW turned around the photographs, and despite the weather not being in our favour, Charlie definitely made the most of what he was working with in terms of backdrop and lighting.

I 100% recommend Charlie, his editorial style is stunning and he made us feel like rockstars on the day of the wedding. I can’t stress how important it is to like your photographer, you spend quite a bit of the day with them and Charlie just felt like a mate we’ve known forever throughout the whole day.

Studio Westlake made our wedding day at Somerley House an absolute dream come true. From the moment we first contacted them to the final delivery of our stunning wedding photos and videos, they exceeded all our expectations and delivered a truly remarkable experience. Charlie, the photographer, and Tim, the videographer, were a fantastic team who went above and beyond to capture every precious moment of our special day.

The team's professionalism and communication were exceptional. From our initial chat to the final deliverables, they were responsive, attentive, and accommodating to our needs and preferences. They took the time to understand our vision and provided invaluable guidance to ensure that our photos and video reflected us.

Charlie has an incredible eye for detail. From the pre-ceremony preparations to the exchange of vows, he captured every candid smile, tear, and loving glance. His ability to blend into the background allowed him to capture the most genuine and intimate moments without ever feeling intrusive.

The result was breathtaking images that truly captured the beauty of Somerley House and our wedding day. Charlie's creativity and passion were evident in every photograph, and we are grateful for the countless memories he immortalised for us.

Tim, the videographer, masterfully transformed our wedding day into a cinematic masterpiece. Tim seamlessly captured the energy, joy, and emotion of the day, weaving together a narrative that beautifully encapsulated our experience. The quality of the footage was impeccable, and the attention to detail in the editing process truly made the video come to life. Tim's ability to capture both the grand and subtle moments of our day has allowed us, and our family, to relive the magic time and time again.

Beyond their technical skills, what set Studio Westlake apart was the genuine care and passion they demonstrated throughout the entire process. They took the time to get to know us as a couple, making us feel comfortable and at ease in front of the camera. They were patient, friendly, and always went the extra mile to ensure we were happy. Their dedication to their craft was evident, and the post-production process was seamless, speedy and efficient. Studio Westlake's attention to detail extended to every aspect, from the timely delivery of our photos and video to the beautifully curated album divided into the different parts of the day.

In conclusion, Studio Westlake deserves nothing short of a 5-star rating. The team is an absolute delight to work with, and their commitment to excellence is unparalleled. If you're searching for a photography and videography company that will capture the essence and beauty of your special day, Studio Westlake is the perfect choice. We are forever grateful to them for preserving the memories of our wedding day in such a breathtaking and unforgettable manner. Thank you! Love, Lara & Tom x

Choosing Charlie and Tim for our wedding photography and videography was not a hard choice to make. When we got engaged back in 2020, I had a lot of time on my hands during lockdown to do my research and really find someone that would picture our day perfectly. I remember finding Charlie’s Instagram and thought THIS IS THE ONE! Communication right from the beginning was great, and Charlie followed our social media’s which I think really helps on the day, feeling like he already has an insight into our lives and what we like.

On the day, Charlie and Tim slipped in very discretely which was perfect for us! Not once did it feel staged or forced. We wanted our photos and video to be really authentic, capturing people in the moment which is exactly what they did. Every single one of our guests mentioned how lovely and fun they both were.

When we received the photos and highlight video we were quite taken back. They were all beyond beautiful! Honestly, we felt like we were looking through a vogue magazine! The photos and video are so elegant and stylish, and you can really see how much time and energy goes into editing every single picture.

Our wedding day was truly perfect, but I can honestly say one of the highlights from the whole experience has to be having Charlie and Tim there capturing our day in a way that will stay with us forever.

Cannot recommend enough! X

Studio Westlake capture weddings so beautifully. We got married in Woburn, Bedfordshire in July 2022 and after searching high and low for the perfect photographer and videographer for our wedding we just knew Studio Westlake was the perfect choice. Tim Westlake was our videographer for the day and he was truly amazing. If we could have had Charlie to photograph our day too we would have done but sadly he wasn't available.

Tim really did exceed our expectations with creating a wonderful video of our wedding day, everything about it is truly beautiful - the music he chose and the way everything was shot was so stylish and luxurious. We have watched the video so many times since and are moved to tears every time we watch it with family and friends - it will never get boring!

Tim is so personable and really took the time to get to know us and understand any specific requests we had in terms of what we wanted included in our video but in all honesty we completely trusted him to capture it in his own way and we just couldn't be happier!

Having a video of your wedding day is a really special keepsake and such a beautiful thing to watch and look back on and whilst I know some people are unsure of whether its necessary I would say you will absolutely not regret it!

We have had so many people say how beautiful our video is whilst asking for their details, including our DJ who flew in from Ibiza and was keen to know who we had shoot our day as the video quality and imagery speaks for itself.

One of the best decisions we made for our wedding was choosing to have a videographer and we are absolutely thrilled that we had Tim to capture it all so perfectly, he really is a creative genius and I cannot recommend him enough!

I have tried to write this review a few times but it really is hard to put into words how happy we are with Studio Westlake. Our experience, our photos, our video, everything.
From the moment we spoke with Charlie we knew we had made the right decision. When trawling through the hundreds of wedding photographers Studio Westlake stood out for their classic, timeless, beautiful photos. Never in our wildest dreams did we think that our photos could replicate anything similar. When the option of a videographer was made available we jumped at the chance. The videos are not your typical wedding video, they really are a story catching the sentiment and specialness of the day.
We got married in Marshwood Manor in Dorset during the summer. On the day Charlie and Tim were like an extension of our bridal party. They were just a pleasure to have around. I am a little awkward and do not feel photogenic but with Charlie and Tim I was immediately at ease. Some of my favourite memories of the day are of myself and my husband slipping off to have a little us time and have our couples portraits taken or rolling around laughing with my favourite people in the world trying to get a picture with some smoke flares. How Charlie and Tim made these look beautiful is just magic.
We received our photographs and video in a matter of weeks. When we opened our gallery we were blown away. The photos are just beautiful but way beyond what we had hoped. The variety of pictures was amazing and not only did we have beautiful photographs of us and our families but we also had beautiful photographs of all of our guests enjoying themselves. They really caught the atmosphere of the day. As soon as we watched the video, the tears started to flow. Tears of joy and of delight. It is something that we will always hold dear and will share with our children and grandchildren.
I just want to thank Studio Westlake in this public forum and would say if you are thinking about booking them..do it, you won't regret it. The only problem I have is now trying to find enough room on my walls for all of the pictures that I want to display.

Where to even start when summing up our experience with Studio Westlake?! We picked Studio Westlake to photograph our wedding at River Cottage, and the team honestly made our dreams come true. Not just because of the stunning pictures we received, but because of the energy, freedom and creativeness that came with the planning, the pre-wedding shoot, and the day itself. My Husband and I always felt like we could be ourselves in front of the camera, and any direction we received absolutely worked to our strengths and stylistic preferences. We had a pre-wedding shoot at Beer Beach in front of the general public, and we totally forgot anyone was watching; it’s actually one of our favourite memories together as a couple. On the day itself Charlie photographed the bridal ‘getting ready’ journey at The Pig At Combe, a part of the day I (the Bride) was a little nervous about because of the stress and the more candid style of photography, but Charlie was so careful and considerate of all that was going on and was actually my safe person in the morning. I’m also so grateful that he proactively took photos of the beautiful hotel, which will serve as lovely memories I hadn’t thought to capture.

Charlie is a photographic genius and perfectionist, through and through, and his work is an absolute testament to that. Not to mention he genuinely believes in romance, and the celebration of pure love and magic that a wedding day represents. Beyond the photographs, we feel so grateful to have had a photographer as warm, passionate, and helpful as Charlie. So many of our guests commented on his lovely energy, and it truly felt like we had another friend at the wedding, how many people can say that? We were looking for a photographer and found a (very talented) friend. We honestly can’t thank him or recommend Studio Westlake enough.

Choosing the right person to capture your wedding shouldn’t be an easy decision, but after one conversation with Charlie we knew instantly that it had to be him.

Not only did he have a fashion edge to his photography that added a touch of luxury, he was so easy to get on with and really understood the vision for our wedding in Corfu.

We also flew his Dad Tim out to capture a highlight reel and WOW what a video.

Despite very dramatic weather changes including an electric sky over dinner, Charlie and Tim used it to their advantage and managed to create a cinematic yet elegant mood that has blown us away.

We can’t recommend Studio Westlake enough and are already thinking about what we can book them for next. Lovely people with an incredible talent.

Thank you for keeping us so calm when the weather certainly wasn’t. Thank you for joining in with the fun with our friends and family and most of all thank you for capturing our story so perfectly that we can now re-live the magic of our special day forever.

We are so pleased we chose Studio Westlake to shoot our wedding and engagement, Charlie is a fantastic photographer. He really took the time to figure out what we wanted and captured not only beautiful couple portraits but also amazing candid shots of all our guests. Charlie is professional and organised and was a great addition to our wedding. Highly recommend!

It's hard to put into words just how amazing the Studio Westlake team were... but hiring them was one of the best decisions we made for our Italian wedding.

We wanted to find a photographer and videographer that felt a bit different from the myriad of others out there... and SW's candid, effortlessly-cool style and ability to capture the emotions of the day were exactly that.

Charlie and Tim were amazing from the word go, from answering questions to jumping on calls - we truly felt they listened to us and our vision in the build up.

On the day - despite the roasting Puglian summer heatwave - they were an absolute joy to have around - their disposition, subtle direction, professionalism and humour made us, our family and our guests feel beyond comfortable and confident in front of the camera.

Then, receiving our gallery and videos was the perfect antidote to the post-wedding blues - they superseded our expectations and more. Charlie, Tim & Joe captured the emotion of the day perfectly - delivering shots that were beyond cool, candid and composed to perfection. And the film told the story of the wedding beautifully - cut in such a unique way - we've played it dozens of times and haven't had a tear-less watch yet, it's truly incredible.

I wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend Studio Westlake - thanks to them, we now have the most magical mementos of one of the best days of our life.
